[Wow, he's actually using the video feed this time. What a miracle. Except it's not as intentional as the Lombax seems to be resting against someone's bedside, flipping through a small calender.

After awhile, though... he stops, and a gloved hand pauses on a certain date. The General seems thoughtful about something, turning his gaze out a nearby window as he loses himself in some of his memories. Funny, how he hadn't invested much into it... or just how old he was starting to truly get. Another year passed, and still, he felt the same.

It's then that a quiet beep catches his attention, silently swearing under his breath. How much of it had been archived...?

Setting the calender on the nightstand, the Lombax moves to grab the SFC, debating whether to just shut it off, or--]

How does one generally celebrate a... a birthday?

[Orvus, if he remembers. He didn't have anyone to celebrate it with.

...maybe 'celebrate' was too strong of a word.]

I'm not going to get much done in this manner, so... why not?

[Maybe the commotion would wake Jade, too.]

Hell if I remember. I haven't celebrated that shit since... _{[Since he was human, but he's not finishing that.]} Fuck, as if I remember the last time I celebrated that too. All I remember is the date.

_{[Though he'll probably just crash a bar and drink until they run out of booze, whoops.]}

No, I wouldn't expect the dead to bother with a birthday. Seems a bit redundant, wouldn't you agree?

Though in a sense, this is the pot calling the kettle black.

Nope. I've got my reasons to remember it.

So why're you botherin' with it?

Boredom, mainly. It's either this, or wait for the city to collapse on itself once again, in which drunken Pin-The-Tail-on-the-Agorian sounds more favorable.

If you people are so worried 'bout it collapsing, why don't you just snag a house on the island? S'what I did save for different reasons. I can't stand being chained down here every hour of the day.

...I have no idea what a fuckin' Pin-the-tail-on-the-Agorian is either.

Done and done. I've been up here for a few months now with the Emperor and the Colonel while the rest of you keep your fun where I can't see it.

--perhaps it's time we showed you. Though it's better with an actual Agorian, unfortunately.

As if I know who those two are.

..."We"? 'n what the fuck is an Agorian?

Think of the most idiotic, barbaric creatures you can imagine, and give them an arsenal of weapons. There's your Agorian!

...So Menos-class Hollows.

_{[They may be his kin, but they're still pretty stupid at that stage of evolution!]}

I think celebrating a birthday isn't as difficult as one would think!

It's rather simple, you celebrate the day with your friends with a cake and some presents. It's about enjoying your time with them and what life has to offer for you.

And if your 'friends' are either occupied or... incapacitated? What then?

Well...I still don't see why you can't celebrate...

[There was a mumble]

Because I don't think that they would like to see you sad on your birthday.

Ahh, I wouldn't be upset. It's just a day, isn't it?

Normally, I wouldn't even put much investment into it, but I think a distraction would do me some good.

Then mind if I ask is today your birthday?

Perhaps I should get you a cake?

No, no. It was a month back, but in my... adventures, I seem to have missed it somehow. You're free to do whatever you'd like, just don't go overboard.

Then may I ask where you live?

It shouldn't be too difficult to give you a cake at the doorsteps. I don't think it's going overboard at all!

You celebrate it in a way that makes it special to you. For a lot of people, that means parties and cake, but sometimes it's nice just spending a quiet evening with friends.

When you have enough of 'em, or don't participate for awhile, it hardly does seem special, doesn't it? But I figure I should do something more than sit around and wait for the next apocalypse to occur.

No, that's definitely not how you spend a birthday.

What sort of food do you like?

Oh! Well... that depends.

What did you have in mind?

Getting to eat your favorite food on your birthday sounds like a good start, don't you think?

At this rate, I'll be eating enough to hardly raise off the ground on my Hoverboots.

Well, good. Then you won't be able to escape the festivities.
